An open letter to David Cameron

Dear Mr Cameron,

You have come out and stated that you would like to see the UK return to traditional Christian values. At the same time you have said that you are a mostly non-practicing Christian.

My questions to you then are:

1) In what way are you practicing and non-practicing?
2) What kind of Christian are you? CoE? RC? Episcopal? Greek Orthodox? Pentecostal?
3) What exactly do you think the UK could benefit from a Christian Ethic that it could not gain from a secular utilitarian ethic?
4) Do you actually realise that Church attendance is on the wane? Do you realise how large the proportion of the country is that is non-Christian (not even how large the proportion of non-believers are!).
5) You were not elected on a religious agenda (heck you weren’t even elected…). What gives you the right to speak out on religious issues?
